19、just a few minutes, but at that time, I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up. I was left staring at the cashier, who was staring at me. “Do you have money for me, son?” she said. “Ill need to be paid.” I didnt realize she was just trying to amuse herself. So I stood there
20、, ashamed and embarrassed. By the time my mom returned, I was angry. “You left me here with no money!

Who could even think of that?I often told my students, “When you go into the wilderness, the only thing you can depend on is what you t

37、ce of re-reading D. introduce the effective ways of re-reading old booksDMore and more people are aware that an afternoon nap(打盹) can do a body good. But there are still doubters out there. To help spread the power of the afternoon nap, we list some common myths about napping we still hear. Myth # 1
38、 : Napping is only for the lazy. Fact: Around a third of American adults nap on the average day, and for good reason: A short nap can inspire everything from brain and memory to creativity and productivity(生产效率). And none of these sounds like laziness to us! Myth # 2 : If I take a nap, Ill only wake
39、 up feeling worse. Fact: That groggy(头晕的) feeling after you wake up from a nap is real (it even has a name: sleep inertia), but its not a guarantee(保证). How you feel after your nap is a factor of how long you sleep. Experts generally agree that a nap should last no longer than 30 minutes. “If you ta
40、ke it longer than 30 minutes, you end up in deep sleep. Youre going into a stage of sleep thats very difficult to get out of.” said sleep expert Michael J. Breus, Ph. D. Myth # 3 : You mustnt nap at work. Fact: In fact, in the office environment, were all for catching a few winks (眨眼) during the wor
41、kday. Some companies have even created special rooms for afternoon naps as more and more employers come around to the idea that a well-rested workforce is a more productive workforce. If your employer doesnt offer a place to lay your head, try to find an empty conference room where you can close the
42、 door and dim the lights. Really want? Take a nap on your lunch break on a park bench or in your car. Myth # 4 : Ill be more productive if I just finish this task, rather than waste time sleeping. Fact: Yes, youll be away from your desk if you take 10 to 30 minutes to sleep. But youll likely make up
43、 for that “wasted” time afterward. “My research shows that people feel tired after a long time of work during the day,” Sara Mednick told Bloomberg Businessweek. “Its difficult to keep productive all day.” However, a nap can leave you feeling refreshed and more ready to finish the task at hand.32. A
44、ccording to the passage, a short nap has the following benefits EXCEPT .A. making people think more quicklyB. improving peoples memoryC. allowing old people to live longerD. raising peoples speed of work 33. How you feel after your nap is connected with .A. the way of sleepB. the place of sleepC. th

Have a rich lunch and have a good chat over lunch.C. Put more work pressure on himself to keep himself a
